Lake Overholser Access provides multiple entry points for fishing and boating, including a covered fishing pier at the southwest corner, boat ramps with tending docks at the south end by the dam and east side near the patrol station, and handicap-accessible facilities.

The lake spans 1,500 surface acres with an average depth of 6 feet, making it suitable for various water activities including sailing, boating, and personal watercraft, though swimming is prohibited.

Both Oklahoma state fishing licenses and Oklahoma City fishing permits are required for fishing access.
